Upcoming Auctions: Jan 19 – 25

Auctions in the week in front of us are featuring works by some of the biggest names in contemporary, as well as urban art. Auction houses from Boston, London and Hong Kong will compete among themselves to gather as more buyers as possible, and they’ve managed to gather an extraordinary group of artworks, some quite expensive, others very affordable. Starting on Tuesday, January 20, auction house Sotheby’s in Hong Kong is organizing auction entitled Boundless, offering art from Eastern and Western contemporary works to iconic design furniture of the 20th century. Some of the auction’s highlights include Invader’s HK_58 (est. €111,100 – 166,650), Roy Lichtenstein’s 1984 Collage for Painting in Gold Frame (est. €177,760 – 222,200) and Tracey Emin’s Trust Me (est. €27,775 – 38,885).
